The point is simple we identified an inconsistency in our policy concerning packaging in KUP let us discuss and establish some rules at community level. Please stop getting it personal. Personally I find specifying the version in both .spec and the name of the archive redundant...
If there is an issue with an app the user gets asked "what version do you have installed". I do a simple rpm search which only helps if the version - in this case svn revision - is part of the package's name. Same would happen if users do zypper se or use YaST. In case an app fails to start it would for example be impossible to get that info from the Help > About menu. So since there are no drawbacks of having a version number in the package's name but only advantages, IMHO it should be part of the package-name.
